Instruction manual
one
First of all, alone with yourself admit your own guilt, whatever it may be. Do not dismiss remorse, sort everything out calmly, without being carried away by self-flagellation. Having forgiven yourself, tune in to a serious conversation with those you unwittingly hurt.

If you, as a boss, have done something wrong with your subordinates, it is especially difficult to admit your guilt. But this is necessary in order to be able to work further without catching slanting glances. Do not be afraid to drop your authority, directly say that you have committed injustice. In this case, honesty is the best policy.
3
To admit mistakes in front of children for many means to be weak. However, this is not the case. Explain to the child that adults are wrong but not afraid to discover their imperfections. Remember that, apologizing to the child, do not weaken the usual requirements for him.
4
A quarrel has occurred in the family in which you feel guilty? Admit your mistake not only in words, try to correct the deed as much as possible, and think about how to avoid a repetition of such a situation.
5
Do not put to the one who offended, no conditions. Let reconciliation be a common voluntary decision without hidden ultimatums. Arrange a small home celebration in honor of this event in order to defuse the atmosphere completely.
6
Often we do not want to admit our own mistakes for fear of retaliation. It is so simple to keep silent, thereby casting a shadow on the innocent, especially if your mistake was expensive not only to you. Find the strength to confess to remove the stone from the soul. Whatever the case, you will feel relief.

Remember that admitting mistakes is not self-flagellation and not a way to calm down. The main thing is to be honest with yourself, and then recognition of your own mistake will become the next step in self-development.
